I recall reading somewhere that Olds missed the Korean War, and was so angry about it he couldn't speak of it? WW2 ace and four in Vietnam wasn't it?
Correct, he missed it because he had been assigned to command the 71st FS, a home defense unit, on returning from his stint over here with the RAF. Incidently, his stint in charge of 1 Sqn made history as he became the first non-RAF, RAF Squadron commander.
He scored 13 in WW2 and 4 in Vietnam.
Incidently, his original personal P-51D Mustang that he scored all his 13 victories with in 44/45, survived the war and subsequent post war civvie life including a period as a Reno-racer. Olds took a very active interest in the full restoration of his old a/c back in the early 1990's when it was returned to 'his' personal markings as he flew it in WW2 as 'Scat VII'. It had been converted to twin-stick TF configuration as well and I believe he did fly it again post restoration at some point, which if so, must also be some sort of unique record.
However, sadly, in 2003 Scat VII crashed and was destroyed, killing owner-pilot Jim Shuttleworth.
